"Descriptively informative,
Phil's 3rd Favorite 500
is thoroughly film fan friendly ... making it an essential and welcome addition."
--Midwest Book Review In 2012, Phil Berardelli published his first compilation of 500 favorite movies, divided into 50 categories and borne of a lifelong love of the medium, and a desire to share some of his most enjoyable experiences with other cinephiles. He followed up in 2018 with a print edition of that compilation. Then, two years later, Phil completed his second 500 favorites, likewise encompassing 50 categories. Now, in
, he adds yet another 500 titles, presented in yet another 50 categories. With this trilogy, Phil offers a vast array of attractions to engage a wide variety of interests, from the most avid film students to the most casual viewers, and ranging from acknowledged classics to little-known treasures. All represent some of the finest work of moviemakers in America and overseas alike, with some titles going back nearly a hundred years. Witty and eminently browsable, Phil's three compilations will no doubt in the coming years be regarded as classic references for movie lovers everywhere.
